NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Wednesday to continue preparations for Saturday's Divisional Round Playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Some quick hits after Wednesday's session:
-The Titans practiced in a steady rain and on soggy practice fields at Saint Thomas Sports Park.
The energy was good, though, from stretch to the final period.
-Running back Derrick Henry, moved to the team's 'Designated for Return from Injured Reserve" list earlier this month, was back at practice on Wednesday.
The designation opened up a 21-day window for Henry to practice with the team, and he will not count against the team's 53-man roster until being activated from Injured Reserve.
Henry talked to reporters before practice.
Henry suffered a foot injury in the team's October 31 game vs the Colts, and he's missed the last nine games.
The Titans will need to activate Henry at some point before Saturday's game.
